I have airtel broadband connection in Mysore with a modem that was provided by them long back.
Currently will need to make my ground floor setup with wifi. Will plan on second floor later since no one stays there currently.
Should I be buying just a wifi router or modem+wifi device? Budget upto 4k.

The built up area is around 1500sq ft. I'll be placing the device in the Centre hall.
Will be connecting desktop, laptop, 2 mobiles, TV. Would Asus N13U fit this setup?

Edit: went through some threads. Figured out that it's better to use the modem and buy n13u for dd-wrt.

Have to check if the modem can be set in bridged connection.

@abracadabra No, its a wired one. The model is Huawei Smartax MT882.

Setting the marked option (see pic) will set to bridged mode right?

most likely yes if it is the only bridged option in WAN type.also when setting the router make sure to assign it an ip outside of the dhcp range of modem or disable the dhcp in modem altogether.
